So I have a WTB ad in the parts section for a Motorsports Wheel. Get an msg from a Paul Bolonski that he has one he will sell. Sends me a pic and we settle on a price $650. Says he will take a Paypal and sends me a PayPal link. The link is for a Cyriah Williams but I go ahead and pay it. Then he keeps asking for payment confirmation and when I send it to him he does not respond and keeps asking for . It is clearly a scammer and I am disputing the charge with Paypal. Be advised and don't get ripped off like I did.
RIP OFF REPORT "Paul Bolonski"

Sure hope Paypal helps you out. Thank you for the heads up.
Have we booted this snoozer off the Forum for scamming our members?
I'm sure you were focusing on what was most important to you. When I'm busiest is when I'm most susceptible to being taken. Buy enough parts remotely or over the internet, and it will eventually happen. Heck, some pretty savvy folks here have been scammed. Smart to use Amex, though--I'm going to switch mine over.
He a member here? WHat's his tag name?
I would have been suspect of seller based on his last name!
@02m2,
based on your post below, check to see where you sent the funds. Your title says Paul Bolonski and the email address that you are quoting is Bononski. Given that PayPal is email based that could be your problem.

Dear all,
I was contacted just now by member pascalnicholas912 in response to a wanted ad in the parts section - just like the case of the OP of this thread, he suggested contacting Paul Bonoski at the same email address.
I have alerted this member to the existence of this thread and have said I expect the mods for this forum will want him to assist / explain. We should know what’s going on here as a result. Hope it helps!

Heads up, I've had a few attempts at people replying to my wanted ads on here both by pm and emailing which have been scams.
Keep vigilant guys

I posted the above 2 weeks ago but it only just got accepted and put up - I’ve had no response from @pascalnicholas912 so I’m calling him/her out as a scammer.
@dang - can you take the appropriate action?
